At 6 weeks and 5 days, I started bleeding like a regular period including little clots up to the size of a grape and cramps. At the ER I was told the baby has a 50% chance. It seems like there is no way that a pregnancy could survive such conditions. However, as I learn about subchorionic bleeding, I see some mothers have bled for weeks to months and still had healthy babies. Bedrest definitely slows the bleeding. I thank God for 7 pregnancies bringing us 7 healthy kids. The unexpected bleeding during the 8th pregnancy has caused me to sit more and have extra time to talk to my kids and husband.

I just entered my 8th week of pregnancy, I am 20 years old and this is my first baby. I am so nervous! anyway, I went to the ER 2 nights ago because I was experiencing some wierd cramping and pinkish yellow discharge (SORRY TMI) anyways they did an ultrasound and I saw my baby still there and healthy with a heart beat of 154 ! which calmed my nervs, but than the dctor said I had some bleeding around the baby he didn't give me a definition but after reading these articles from you ladies im guessing this is what I am going thorugh and I am so nervous but taking it easy, slow and positive for the baby ! best of luck to all you ladies.

im currently 13.5 weeks pregnant and I developed a subchronic haemorrhage two days ago and after 12 hours in the hospital and two scans later the noticed it, its 3.6cm midwife and drs both said after a few days rest it should heal. it is pretty scary but after reading some of these stories it has given me a bit of confidence that the baby will be fine, it is still breathing and very much alive

I had a huge one in my first pregnancy and was diagnosed at 14 weeks, mine was 10X10X4 cm and my obgyn said it was the biggest she had ever seen. I had to stay in bedrest for a long time, I don´t even remember how long. The result is a healthy beautiful boy who is the joy of my life and is now 3 years old. Have faith, rest, drink lots of water and everything is gonna be all right!

Hi i know this post is old but wanted to share my experiences with sch. Im 7 weeks pregnant with my 5 child and a week ago i actually rang an ambulance with horrific bleeding and massive clots from tesco :/ scan showed baby was fine and i had a small sch. Ive been bleeding all week. Ive had the same thing for my last 2 pregnancies and bled til 23 and 30 weeks with them. Im expecting the same this time round. Try not to worry tho i know its hard. I still panic a bit. Im blaming my current partner as he isnt my eldest 2s dad and it never happened with them

I know I'm late in answering because you've had a baby, but I do have a question about SCH. A doctor thinks I may have had a SCH on Friday. I woke up to feeling a gush of blood come out of me and all day Friday, I began passing large blood clots. There were no cramping. When I went to the doctor, he removed all of the clots that he saw and I stopped bleeding. My question to you all is if the cervix was dilated to push out the clots (The doctor said the opening was fingertip deep) from SCH, does the cervix close up again?

At 6 wks, I started gushing bright red blood with clots when I had just finished working out at the gym. My fiance and I rushed to the ER assuming I was having a miscarriage. I was diagnosed with a SCH (3X4cm) and was put on bed rest for a few days, then told to assume my regular activity after the bleeding stopped. I took it upon myself to be on BR for 1 full wk because I was paranoid. I ended up getting the flu during my bedrest so it ended up being 2 wks. I read all of these responses during that time & it really gave me hope that everything was going to be okay. It was the SCARIEST experience and playing the waiting game sucked...but follow up US's showed normal development. I am now 25 wks with my baby girl. The SCH resolved itself at about 13-14wks. I know it's tough but don't stress yourself out too much..the baby needs your positive energy :)

I have been diagnosed with this as well. I have been in the ER with bright red blood and clots. The docs give me an internal and ultrasound my twins are fine. I am on strict bed rest. I'm worrying a lot too but the docs keep assuring me that they are alright.

I started spoting at 7 weeks. Thinking it was implantation I didnt worry. Then at 11 weeks large clots and gushing blood. Went to the er they said go home its probably a miscarriage. Went to my dr who thru u/s found a heartbeat. Again at 15 weeks bleeding and clots. No sch has been found of any ultrasound but I still continue to have clots and bleeding on occasion. Im now 32 weeks and just had another clot pass. Ever6 time I go to the er they tell me the same thing. Go home and rest and comebback if my water breaks or im in a lot of pain. Not all sch result in miscarriage. I thought that if I was bleeding it was depriving the baby of nutrition and such but what women dont realize is that babies will get what they need from you. The baby always comes first. There isnt a treatment or a reason why sch happens. It was thought it was from stress and caffine which I limited both but still have occasional bleeds. Just relax and try not to worry. If its meant to be it shall be. It will be ok.
